Posted on November 13th, 2017

BreakPoint Labs engineers had a great time this past weekend at BSidesJXN 2017 held at the Bomgar facility in Jackson, MS. Our engineers gave a talk titled “Adding Pentest Sauce to Your Vulnerability Management Recipe” – all about improving vulnerability management based on Red Team tips and tricks. BSidesJXN is a great example of why we love BSides events – strong and friendly community of information sharing. Check out their website for some more information and consider attending next years event.
